It's probably not coincidence. It makes perfect sense for them to choose the 10th anniversary to start releasing the arcs. They have to have some kind of way to advertise the volumes, do they? Because they think that otherwise their target audience won't know what the games the arcs are based to are. They weren't even born when they came out. FireRed/LeafGreen and Emerald arcs would also start on their anniversary years.

That's quite awesome. Perhaps they thought of this beforehand after the GSC arc. I wonder after the DPPt arc, they will release that bundle in a couple of years. Just think, but the end of DPPt, we will have about 11 volumes of having Adventures in Sinnoh.

I wonder, why are the prices listed for the Ruby/Sapphire volumes higher than normal?

I'm still unsure what to make of this.

VIZ wants more money? Pokémon manga is quite succesful, after all. Or they don't think they will sell that well and want to at least cover their costs.

That's definitely possible, though it's weird they'd only do it for those volumes. And that's possible too I guess, though silly considering how well the manga has sold so far.

I just saw the prices were higher then usual. That's interesting. I guess Viz is really going to make you pay for gen 3. Well it's still cheaper then getting the CY version for me so I don't mind. Most popular manga are this amount anyway. I hope this is real and not a mistake and we get all three Gen 3 arcs.

VIZ is supposed to be making announcements at NYCC later today about upcoming releases and new acquisitions (recall th TPCi issue). We should hear about any March releases then. Still can't believe it took a year and a half.

Edit: It seems they didn't announce anything Pokémon-related. However, I found this on vizkids.com. Volume 37 is coming out on June 4. This is when Sird returns.

I noticed that you recently updated the first post, but did not add volume 37. I posted earlier a link to vizkids.com listing a june 2013 release date and cover for said volume. It is also on the release calendar. It is not, however, on any other websites.

Platinum fan always loves new covers to stare at. Is it just me or does it look like Crystal is flying out of Gyarados's mouth on the cover? Still a nice cover. I wonder how many volumes HGSS will have? I imagine three?

Seems like this is the last HGSS volume..which sucks.
This chapter had a lot of potential and hopefully Kusaka will find a way to finish it in a great way. Even if it's like 17 rounds long (which is the number of rounds i imagine it will end up having, if the 42th volume comes with the almost always-usual 10 chapters).
